Ex Lion Tamer Lyrics

There's great danger (danger)
For the loneliest ranger in town
No silver bullets (bullets)
Tonto's split the scene

Next week will solve your problems
But now
Fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.)

There's great danger
And most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice
Robin's quit the scene

Next week will solve your problems
But now
Fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.)
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, oh
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, oh
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, oh
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, oh
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.)
(T.V.) stay glued to your T.V. set (T.V.) oh, why don't ya, don't ya, don't ya
(T.V.) stay glued to that and your T.V. set (T.V.)

What is the Meaning of Ex Lion Tamer?

Who needs superheroes when your biggest adversary is the humdrum glow of the television set? Wire invites us to the lair of modern malaise, where silver bullets are as absent as Tonto and Robin. Next week, they promise deliverance, yet today the only heroism within reach involves perfectly aligned fish fingers and empty milk bottles. It’s a wry nod to our tendency to let the TV sap our sense of adventure, a hypnotic hum drawing us away from life’s grand quests. In this suburban landscape, you're less a bold ex-lion tamer and more a reluctant couch crusader, battling the banality of everyday life through the cathode ray glow. Spiderman can keep his spandex, for the real capes are the blankets keeping you cozy as the TV lulls you into submission. So, buckle up for a ride through ennui-ville, where the real danger is missing the world outside.
